gaming Bulbasaur, Charmander, Or Squirtle?

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

In the original Pokemon Red/Blue, which is your favorite starter?

[Member Berry 1,217]

Squirtle

 

 

He's so cute <3 I like tutrles

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

Squirtle

 

 

He's so cute <3 I like tutrles

 

He's also the best one for defense.

[Celtore 2,770]

I know it's a bit cliche, but I'm going to have to go with fire lizard (Charmander.) He looks like an adorable little dinosaur and he really wrecks the gym leaders in the second half of the game.

Yeah, I like bulky Pokemon I play a lot of nuzlockes so you need the bulky ones. 

[Crusaders Forever 88]

I know it's a bit cliche, but fire lizard. He looks like a little dinosaur and he really starts being awesome against the gym leaders in the second half of the game.

 

That would be Charmander, and he's a good pokemon. My younger brother started him in red, and got him pretty powerful.

 

My pick was Squirtle. Because I liked the way he looked, and he's really powerful.

Meowth dat's right! .... oh, wait. Bulbasaur. XD Bulba is the cutest imo and makes me think of a flower toad.

I always wished I could have Meowth as my starter though.

[Zachary 5,521]

That's so Though, I like all Kanto Starters but If I had to Choose One, It would be Squirtle because Squirtle is So Cute and i like turtles.

I've always been a fan of Bulbasaur, really. I think it's adorable, and I generally like its design and color scheme. I'm also very fond of all kinds of grass-types! Whilst I'm going to have to say that Charizard is still my favorite final evolution of the three (especially looking back at when I used to love the anime), I love Venusaur, too, and think it's pretty awesome. Ivysaur is my favorite, design-wise, of the three, however.

[Mutemutt 773]

Pretty sure I picked bulbasaur when I first played; I used to really love grass type back in those days. So yeah, bulbasaur for nostalgia's sake.

[PoisonClaw 8,165]

Charmander was my pick. Yeah, it made the game harder since the first two Gyms are super effective against him, but he was just that awesome not to pick. 

[Number62 1,258]

Squirtle because it eventually gets cannons sticking out of its shell. How's that not cool?

[Anneal 2,197]

I never played Gen I or its remakes, so...

 

CYNDAQUIL BEST STARTER

[ashi 261]

Snivy. 

 

(What? I dig her 'tude in the animé.)

[Vulcan 3,254]

Bulbasaur... Back then there was no such thing as the "sleep clause" so I had a team whose main purpose was for each Pokémon to have a move that causes the opponent to sleep. Everyone sort of hated me for it... But I didn't care... All their legendaries and charizards could never beat my sleep team o_o

[cmarston1 5,959]

Squirtle, as I have always been a fan of water types, and that is the type of starter that I always pick.

I believe TV Tropes has a fitting response for you:

Prepare for adorableness:

I guess if you're looking for offense, then he's your best bet.

 

Meowth dat's right! .... oh, wait. Bulbasaur. XD Bulba is the cutest imo and makes me think of a flower toad.

 

I always wished I could have Meowth as my starter though.

 

Bulbasaur seems the most balanced of the 3, IMO.

Charmander! Why?

 

BECAUSE HE EVOLVES INTO A #$!@$#@!#$!@# DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!     

[PE Brony 1,712]

I never owned Red or Blue versions. I had Yellow, so Pikachu was always my starter. However, since Yellow let you capture exactly one of each of the "Starter" Pokemon during the gameplay, Squirtle became my favorite of the three. Having a Blastoise with Hydro Pump and Surf was invaluable to me in many, many battles. He was the only Starter that I ever used enough to get him up to level 100 (besides my Pikachu, of course)!

[ashi 261]

But not a Dragon-type!

 

(Yes, I'm discounting the cop-out Mega Evolution.)

WHO CARES?!!!!!!!!! IT IS A !@#$@#!@$#@!$ DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Besides, Mega Charizard Y is like 1,000,000x more powerful than Charizard X.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though Snivy is the best starter of all time...

It's the only decent G5 starter, anyway.

Personally, I though most of the G5 starters were great! At least the final evolution were. I mean, have you seen Emboar?!
